Little man symptoms and conditions

This drug should be taken off the market. My Dr. warned me of a cough when he gave it to me but did not tell me that you would literally drown in secretions from the drainage in your throat. I have been on it 2 weeks and my quality of life has diminished considerably. During the day its as if a little man with a squirt bottle of acid is spraying my throat. At night the same thing but lying down produces uncontrollable drainage. I have to keep a spit cup by my bed and hardly get any sleep. Have tried allergy medications to no avail. I threw it in the garbage today. I would rather monitor my BP 30 times a day than live thru this.

My question is if you have been on this drug and your Dr. took you off, what did he use in its place? Would Beta Blockers be better? Who has experienced this and is now free of it? What is the alternative drug? I called my Dr.'s office today and they have Benicar waiting for me in the AM...anyone know about that one? I am desperate!

My 20 month old son was just prescribed Alburterol and a Steroid for RSV, he has a horrible case of RSV that he nearly has pneumonia, weezing and can't take deep breaths. The Albuterol makes him nuts. He is usually this sweet little boy, who listens and barely ever cries. Now he screams, he is jittery to the point it seems like he is on speed. He has gotten violent towards his sisters and me. Today he actually bit me and broke the skin where I couldn't get him off me. For no apparent reason he will scream at the top of his lungs, and he throws himself into things. And sleeping, forget it, this little man has insomnia, within an hour after I get him to bed he is screaming and will not relax. It seems he usually crashes after about 2 hours after his dose, he lays down whereever he is and takes a short nap, about 30 minutes later he gets another jolt of energy and goes nuts. I don't know if maybe 1 1/2 tsp. is too much for him, but its either this or their admitting him to the hospital. Where are my options? :-(

I posted a few days ago about my son, 9 yrs old who had dramatic changes in his personality since he started taking Singulair last year. My little boy actually told his therapist he wanted to disappear, I was terrified. The night we saw this report on the news we stopped the medication, that was 4 days ago. As of yesterday my son is happy, laughing, giggling, running around the house and doing everything a child should be doing. I actually sat down last night and cried, I can't believe that a medication could do such horrible things to people. I am lucky that my little man has come back to me, unfortunately others have not been as lucky. I will fight this as far as it needs to go, please contact me if anyone needs my story. I will be going onto other websites to see if we can get our stories heard.
